I’m a regular bod born & bred in South London of Jamaican parents. Was fooled into crypto via a scam, got rugged. Went altcoin, got hacked. Found Bitcoin, ain’t looked back!

ON THIS DAY IN 2013: The term "HODLING" was born on Bitcoin Talk

Seems like a fitting time to re-up this legendary post, given there are clearly a lot of of lettuce-handed tourists out there...

Here is the original post:

I AM HODLING

I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time. Still wrong. w/e. GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY. It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER. Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro. Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT'S GOING DOWN I'M GONNA SELL he he he and then they're like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING buy back in but you know what? I'm not part of that group. When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~! Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT. NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD. I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU. You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob. The people inbetween hold. In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.

so i've had some whiskey

actually on the bottle it's spelled whisky

w/e

sue me

(but only if it's payable in BTC)

----

P.S. it's pronounced "HODL" **not** "hoddle"

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Outrageous

I came to bitcoin the hard way, scam, rug pull, shit coinery, hack. Studying bitcoin opened my eye to the truth of physical sovereignty rather than a rebellious rhetoric. The mad thing is getting my head around the fact that this technology brings on spiritual openings and a profound humanity all bound up in economic incentives

₿itcoin has so many personal cycles you have to go through.

First you spend your time checking the charts every minute after your first purchase. It drops and you wonder if you’ve done the right thing.

Second you give yourself price guides “when it gets to this number I can buy this or that”

Third you decide to study a bit so you read arguably the most important books nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmq3v5m00 “The Price Of Tomorrow” nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv “The Big Print”

nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwgq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46qwvx80j “The Bitcoin Standard” and you think you’ve got it now.

Fourth you buy more ₿itcoin because you think you’ve finally got “it”.

Fifth you watch the volatility in fiat and you have conviction but flick mentally between the fiat price and what you can do with it and the offering of freedom.

Then……something shifts, ₿itcoin forces you to look inside yourself and you see yourself for the first time. Which in turn reveals what ₿itcoin has been trying to show you all along.

This isn’t just a financial shift this is a once in a lifetime upgrade for the human species through the lense of ₿itcoin. But ultimately through the lense of discovering you for the very first time in your life.

That’s where the freedom comes from.

It was always spiritual, the change was always coming and it is beautiful.

It’s all love.
